This is one of the world's two largest LED screens there's one in China and now there's one here in South Korea.
This particular LED screen is a whopping fourteen meters wide, four meters wider than the ones first used in 2017.
It also is about ten times clearer than a regular screen and the extra speakers help give the audience a more immersive experience.

"We've heard that the screens are really clearparticularly when it comes to colors. Also people seem to enjoy how real it feels when watching dynamic movies."

Cinemas have also started doing what is being called an "original ticket event" for people to decorate their diaries something of a trend among young people.
Receipts from the ticket machines can be exchanged at the kiosk for a more traditional-looking movie ticket where diaries are also sold.

"It's easy to forget after watching a movie but now I can remember what I've watched and replay the memories when I look at it again. I like the feeling of making a record."

Also, with the production of new movies postponed due to the pandemic, old movies have been appearing in cinemas.
Ticket sales have been performing well for modern classics like 'La La Land', '1917', and 'Begin Again.'

But, movie fans will be hoping that there comes a day when they can go and watch the latest releases and without having to worry about COVID-19. But for now, cinemas are doing their best to fill the void.
